Attention GPT partitioning

Attention this disk is now delivered in GPT partitioning, which is incompatible with certain old systems like for example in my case a Blue Ray recorder player for TV. It is necessary to convert it into MBR (via diskpart Windows for ex) then to create the partition simple volume with a manager of disc. Simple to do but you need to know how to do it.

        Good backup hard drive

        This small portable hard drive is just right for my purposes, i.e. backup and portability of various documents. The 2 TB capacity gives you a certain amount of time before you need to think about changing the media.

        Correct

        Same reason as for the previous article, I had already bought this article and it suited me perfectly.

        Pb: very slow DD

        After a normal first use, the HDD became very, very slow ... no shocks or misuse in the meantime. I don't understand what's causing the problem.

        As expected

        I already had a 1TB drive and I bought the same one in 2TB because I was satisfied.
        The size is satisfactory, the speed correct
        It's a shame that this comment has to be at least 100 characters long (absurd in my opinion).

        Completely satisfied

        Disk delivered quickly and smoothly.
        Fairly quiet, more than satisfactory speeds (~270Mb/s read), works perfectly under Linux and well-built case.
        Would definitely recommend.

        fast transfer

        I took a 2TB to not be too greedy, it is presented as a 2.5 inch HDD box with a single usb connection. The transfer is fast and that's good. my pc in ssd plus this external hard drive I'm at 130 mo/s transfer, it's very pleasant.

        Small and practical!

        Small pocket-sized disk, which I use occasionally for backup.
        You just have to connect it and you can use it directly. (I use it under PC/Windows environment).

        HD Simple and efficient + Unbeatable delivery : PERFECT

        HD simple and thin. I think this is the first time I bought a 2T drive and the capacity displayed on my Mac is over 2T.... Usually there are always a few gigs missing. Well, not here.

        I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get the same level of service as you. (Lyon area)
        The delivery time was precise between 19h20 and 20h20 confirmed by ChronoPost. The delivery man was on time and gave me a parcel in good condition.

        BRAVO LDLC!

        Purchase to complete the memory of my Ipad pro

        I give it a very good mark because I usually buy Western Digital hard drives, so I already knew I would be satisfied. There are a few things to do, like formatting in eXFat so that the HDD is usable by the iPad. So 2TB of extra memory to use via a HUB. This is perhaps the only "negative point" after I admit I didn't really look for it, it should have had a USB C input and a thunderbolt or USB type C cable to make this purchase easier to use. Nothing to say otherwise!

        easy to use at all levels, not cumbersome, not heavy,
        I don't have any additional blabla to put, a concise appreciation seems to me largely sufficient for this type of product and not to be obliged to put 120 characters is more repulsive and will rather lead me to close this request for opinion without comment.

        No worries

        The actual size available is 1.81 TB, mind you. For the rest, this hard drive is slightly thicker than its 500GB and 1TB versions (which I own). No problems with the operation, at least for the time being and like the other two. Transfers are done quickly and correctly. A very good product (and brand) that I recommend.

        Obsolete data sheet

        I am a little disappointed because on the specifications of this hard drive it says it is Windows XP compatible and it is not. It is not recognized under Windows XP 32 bits. I have to recondition it by using the "diskpart" command under Dos, then initialize it and format it (very long). So it is not usable immediately under Win XP, only from Windows 7. Otherwise, it is delivered perfectly. Please update your data sheets for the next time.
